You handled that so well! I'm not so mature lol I probably would've gotten depressed. Good for you and great sense of humor!

Dryly, but with a smile, I was like... "Yeah... I started eating healthy and it came out."

Believe it or not, it made me chuckle throughout the rest of the day... I think he was pretty relieved I wasn't angry! hehe

saying something like that would of ruined my day.

I've had people say "where's the rest of you" and I reply I kicked her to the curb. Or you look so great! You've lost a ton of weight! You look amazing. And I have never took those as backhanded comments. I've had ppl ask me if I don't like those comments cause it insinuates that I didn't look great before. But I don't. Those never bother me. Those in fact, make my day.

Thanks guys.... Back in the day I think it would have made me kinda more depressed as well, not just producing a TWINGE of "Oh gee thanks jerk".... and a much bigger twinge of "Yeah, I know I look way better".

Guess you learn to roll with the punches as you go on!

And, on top of it, I know how few people can actually do what I've done (and you guys too!!) and stick to it! So I know I should be proud.
